Orange Damask

I just had to get this one in quick as I realised the closing day for this challenge is midnight tonight. This is the colour swatch we were given at Color throwdown

As soon as I saw these fabulous colours I knew I had to play along. This is my version,

I stamped the damask pattern from Heidi Swapp in Versa color Orange onto plain white paper.The striped paper is a digi download from Shabby Princess.I had downloaded a stamin` up colour chart and printed it off so was thrilled when my yellow ribbon was a near perfect match for Dafodil delight ( although it does look darker in the piccy).I made some more `carnations` in orange in two sizes.The only bit of green I could manage are the leaves I`m afraid. I stamped and embossed the small leaf set from Papertrey Turning a new leaf set and cut them out. ( very tricky... I really must get a leaf punch).I added a big bow for a bit of flounce and thats it.

There you are Vicky... carnations and a bow. Be careful what you wish for...lol.

Right , better get this included in the challenge before I run out of time. See you all soon.

Hi Lynn,This card is so cute! I love the beautiful orange flowers which tie in with the gorgeous damask pattern. I really love these background stamps - I really need to get my hands on some more of them!

I couldn't have wished for anything better - it's superb! And the carnations in orange are delicious! (By the way. you definitely need the SU two step bird punch - not only do you get the bird but also gorgeous leaves like yours without cutting them out! Sorry, Alan Sugar MADE me say that...)
